I have two pairs now because there was a deal. The second pair was at half pair or something. It is very annoying when things like that happen. My washing machine now breaks on a regular bases. My repair man told me that some people have all appliances break on them at the same time. My apliances are old now and I think they will go all at once. Imagine to be with no cooker, no fridge and no washing machine.
I agree with Janthefan. How can people be like that. May be they want to sqeeze one like a lemon and then throw it away. In our time of saving money, privatizing etc. I have to check myself because hating does not do anybody any good. I am angry for Morticiaa now.
I too can not stand contact lenses and I am blind to. I can understand you so well.

I remember a film editor from yonks ago rinsing his contacts out with beer in the pub. and then sticking `em back in, I was gobsmacked! Never attempted it myself. Being a convent gel...  |

I have the same problem. I thought my rather old washing machine was leaking, but the pools on the floor turned out to have come from underneath the sink in the utility room. The pipes are so old one of them has simply perished - it has a hole in it. So I have to have a new sink probably, and some new plumbing, and it all costs a fortune in money and time and general irritation. If I'm going to spend, I would so much rather it was on opera tickets, or at least something more beautiful than the boring practicalities of life - but I suppose that's childish. I have to have a house, and the things in it do have to work. |

I've tried contacts a couple of times. Too much pfaffing about and the thing of having to stick my fingers in my eyes every day really didn't do a lot for me. On the other hand I do have two little permanent dents on the sides of my head from having worn the same pair of glasses for nearly the last ten years. So get some new glasses, Ollie. Yes, I know...  |

I started wearing contacts some 32 years ago, and took to them immediately; admittedly for most stage performers they are a must, since for many roles specs are a no-no, though there is a not inconsiderable contingent of actors who prefer not to be able to see the audience clearly.
In case anyone is wondering 'so why is he wearing specs in the picture at Machu Picchu?' the answer is simple: the requisite clean hands and bottles of fluids aren't very compatible with trekking and camping in the high Andes (not to mention the difficulty of looking for them in the case of a very rare drop-out) and that particular day had entailed a very early rise and a tough all-day uphill slog to the Sun Gate at Picchu, though when we returned soon after dawn the next day, following a night in a hotel, I was back with lenses. Since my right eye is severely astigmatic, rigid gas permeable lenses were the only answer at that point: the recent appearance of toric disposables means that I might be able to try them on the Africa trek: experiments with non-torics while scuba-diving in the Red Sea last year suggest that they might be a sensible compromise...

I was going to treat myself to contact lenses for my 50th birthday, but sadly my eyesight is all wrong, and my eyes are apparently not both the same shape, or some nonsense....so it was going to cost a fortune to have the only type suitable for me. I have some new specs, that I've only had for about 6 weeks, and I've had to go back to SpecSavers THREE times, because the funny little nose-rest things keep disappearing ! It is so annoying !!!!! Means going into town specifically, and that is most inconvenient, plus they are very uncomfortable without them. Then they say stupid things like "Do they fall off, or break off?" How do I know?  ? They just aren't there any more ! Rant! Rant!  Gives a whole new meaning to cross - eyed !  x Jan x |
